1、(2011增城市调研试题) 你很荣幸成为2010年广州亚运会的一名志愿者，负责编写亚运会龙舟赛(Dragon Boat Race)的英语介绍。【写作内容】背景：公元前278年农历5月5日，传来国家沦陷的消息，爱国(patriotic)诗人屈原投汨罗江，人们划船寻找。从此龙舟竞渡，纪念屈原，龙舟节诞生。发展：北宋：广州赛龙舟在民间流行；明代：海珠石成为广州龙舟赛的中心；今年：第16届亚运会的龙舟项目在增城举行。现状：体育娱乐活动，体现爱国主义(patriotism)和集体主义(collectivism)精神。【写作要求】只能使用5个句子表达全部内容。【评分标准】句子结构准确，信息内容完整，篇章结
2、构连贯。_One possible version： On the 5th day of the 5th lunar month 278 BC, when word came that his country was defeated, Qu Yuan, the patriotic poet, jumped into the Miluo River.

4、ll be held in Zengcheng and the Dragon Boat Race becomes one of sports and entertainment activities, symbolizing the spirit of patriotism and collectivism. 【思路点拨】 第一步：审题，本篇基础写作为介绍类应用文写作，要注意时态和人称的把握。 第二步：找出内容之间的逻辑关系，并划分5句话。文中，背景句包含两个不同的主语，可以考虑分为两句来翻译。龙舟节的诞生可单独为一句。北宋与明代都是过去人民庆祝龙舟节的记录，因此可以同为一句，最后今年的庆祝仪
5、式和现状是讲述同一时期的事情，因此要合为一句话。【思路点拨】 第三步：寻找恰当的连接词，使用一定的分词，从句，连句成篇。 第一句中，传来国家沦陷的消息与后文之间可以使用时间状语从句，而宋代、明代不同的庆祝方式的对比可以使用while 来构成一个对比句，后面龙舟节的意义是一个评论，可以使用非限制性定语从句或者分词作状语来构成。一、应用文的特点： 1. 因事而写，内容真实。 应用文最基本的特点就是“用”。为用而写，有用才写，这是应用文与其他文章的最大区别。 2. 对象明确，非看不可。 3. 语言得体，文字简约。4. 时间性强，讲求及时。 5. 格式固定，书写规范。二、写作时应注意：1. 正式的应用
6、文有比较规范的格式，但高考中的基础写作至今尚未考查过格式，只要求表达正文内容。2. 注意时态，如日记常用过去时态，活动通知、请柬通常要用将来时态。三、应用文常用句型：1活动通知类：文章开头第一句常常清楚表明活动的名称、时间、地点以及目的。在此类文章中我们常常用介词短语in the activity, to do(表目的)等使文章更加连贯通顺。The Students Union has decided to organize a music week. It will be held in学生会决定组织一次音乐周活动。将在举行。There will be an important lectur
